Daniel Bard Needs to Stop Thinking, Develop Some Cockiness Like Dennis Eckersley (Video)
The Red Sox have seen Daniel Bard struggle since coming up from Double-A Portland, and a Red Sox legend thinks the reliever just needs to bring some cockiness to his pitches.

Time for Tigers to get Hall love
Two years ago, I asked Dennis Eckersley about Barry Larkin and Alan Trammell. The two shortstops were on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot that winter, and Eckersley had faced both during his playing career.

Dennis Eckersley: The Nationals will have to pitch Stephen Strasburg in playoffs
If you think the Stephen Strasburg innings limit is a big story now, just wait another month or so. When the Nationals initially decided to place a ceiling on how much Strasburg can pitch after his return from Tommy John surgery, they likely were not thinking about the postseason.
